Hi Dave,  I bought the Non-Concourse Braded for my BN7 last year.  I think 
the only difference between that and the Concourse is the color of the 
stripe on the part of the harness that goes from the engine bay to the rear 
under the car.  There may be an additional small difference in a sub harness 
that doesn't show.  I called British Wiring as spoke to a very knowledgeable 
woman who answered all my questions before and after buying.  The only thing 
I was disappointed in is the quality of the bulb holders for the dash. 
Apparently, they are just bad from all suppliers.  At least that was what I 
was told.  They needed some minor alterations to get the small threaded bulb 
to stay in the holder.
Good Luck.
Ron
